    The writer obviously knows nothing about boxing

    I agree! Nothing from Ghana will be good for them. They will like to see walk around naked with our under-wears tied around our necks. GOD will not let it happen. Like cream in a drum of milk, we shall always rise to the top. ...

    I see why he calls himself Tilapia. He was flailing like fish out of water trying to catch his breath. If he continues with such a poor stamina, he will just be a flash in the pan.

    Kamoko won the fight as he controlled it beautifully

    That boy is fundamentally sound and if he can work on his fitness, he can go really far!


    His fundamentals are solid as

  • Ochee-Do-Chee 2 years ago

    A FATHER'S NIGHTMARE! The guy was beating the shit out of Tilapia in front of his own father, who could do nothing about it. The Congolese should demand a RECOUNT! This boy is very far from a professional championship fight. ...

    How did the judges score the fight? The Congolese was robbed clean

  • Kweku Tsin 2 years ago

    Were you paying attention to the score sheet, or you just want to IGNORANTLY SOUND OFF. The score sheet, R1 was 5-0 Kamoko. R2 was 3-2 Kamoko. The round three score was not displayed on camera. Even if Kamoko lost by 0-5, he ...

    What’s your point? They scored it for the wrong boxer. Kamoko needs to learn the fundamentals. He has physical assets but doesn’t know how to use them to his advantage. Long arms, but don’t know how to throw a jab; all ...

    Abu tilapia fought intelligently but he has no chin he should work on his neck, neck exercises to strengthen his chin

  • jesus 2 years ago

    @jesus, that's the correct answer for ten points!

    TILAPIA HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO IF HE REALLY WANTS TO GO FAR

  • Andrews Owusu Fordjour 2 years ago

    Banku and Tilapia. Great combination. Tilapia for gold.

    The Congolese won

  • Yao Ananias 2 years ago

    Abu Kamoko needs to be talked to seriously to take his craft serious, no serious boxer dances before a fight at least after a fight is OK.

  • Kwame 2 years ago

    What!!!!!!!!!!

  • He should up his game! 2 years ago

    Is he taking this to the Olympics? He should be a comic if he wants to or be a seriousfighter and move from daddys style. His dad has done well for bringing him this far but he needs a professional worldclass coach from here ...

    I don't really know boxing rules but this looks like pure robbery

  • Panji 2 years ago

    Ak, is three rounds, Kamoko won r1 5-0 r2 3-2, at this stage kamoko have 8 points and guy have 2, so if kamoko lose 0-5 to the guy in last round still kamoko wins by 8-7

  • BANKU 2 years ago

    How did Tilapia win? I'm still trying to figure out.

  • the Villager 2 years ago

    Tilapia won the first 2 rounds, so if he lost the last one then the score was 2-1. That was how he won

  • Zibo Cujo 2 years ago

    The Congolese got a raw deal. The officials robbed the Congolese

  • JOHN SAMSON 2 years ago

    Ghana had some great boxers but this boy is not going to be one of them. No serious boxer starts dancing before round one and I watched the whole fight. The Congolese boxer was robbed. This kind of decision will bring disgrac ...

    Congratulations to the MEAL family. Banku and Tilapia.

  • Marshall Arpoh 2 years ago

    Banku's son has the basics and can go far if he learns the tricks.Boxing is not always about the strength.Mayweather beliefs the tricks work better.

  • Gattuso K Emmanuel 2 years ago

    Though I do not know much about boxing but I think Kamoko didn’t do much to merit that win

  • Small 2 years ago

    This was not a controversial decision. Technically, he was the better boxer.

  • Panji 2 years ago

    the writer knew nothing about boxing, Abubakar won first two rounds and use his skills to prevent himself from the guy.

    BANKU SON NO GET STAMINA AT ALL.

  • congolese won the fight 2 years ago

  • NKWASEASEM 2 years ago

    I'm ashamed to celebrate this win.

  • Joe Inkala I'm not a boxer but from what I see the Congolese has won the bout. TTilapia was very weak n did not throw much punches. How do u win a fight when u threw few weak punches. 2 years ago

    Tó me thé Congolese won the fight. How do u win a fight when u threw very weak punches n fell down 3xl
